so if you just walk through what happened last week, monday you had fbi director jim comey come up to capitol hill to acknowledge there's an investigation and says again, there's no evidence that trump tower was wiretapped. it seems the whole issue has been put to bed. then what we're learning today is that devin nunes went to the white house grounds on tuesday. and i want to read you the statement that they just put out that we got from devin nunes' office this morning. chairman nunes met with his source at the white house grounds in order to have proximity to a secure location where he could view the information provided by the source. the chairman is eremely looking into this issue even if -- this is before president trump tweeted his assertion that trump tower has been wiretapped. i should note this happened in a room where you can view classification, where the intelligence committee meets on a regular basis, and he says he has seen this information and we try to figure out, he says, that this information says that there was incidental collection of people who are associated with
